Comment:
I don't understand why Delynne's rating is low. I loved this class, it was WAY fun, and made many friends. Keep in mind that you do have to be able to do the dances well to get an A…but if you can move decently and pay attention and do your best in every class, that's not too hard. TAKE. THIS. CLASS.

Comment:
Expert at making great teams and has great TAs. I'm one of those overweight students but she continues to encourage me to not let that hold me back. Of course she's very opinionated but I hope that as a college student you've developed some quick skin. Her comments are humorous most the time anyway. There are expectations and she holds you to them.

Comment:
Extremely fun class, no prior dance experience necessary. Exams had some tricky questions that we wouldn't really go over in class but were in the book. But seeing how this is a college course, I don't expect anything less. I still managed to get A's without even purchasing the book, regardless. I completely recommend taking this class with Delynne

Awesome teacher! She knows how to teach so that students will understand. I don't think the tests are that bad if you review the dances outside of class on your own. Just be confident and have fun! It's a great class!!

Comment:
Delynne's a nice lady, but she grades 170 too hard for a beginner class. I'm not great at dancing, but I figured I'd take this class for fun and to meet people. Didn't expect it to hurt my GPA. Fun class if you like to dance, but don't expect and A just because its half a credit.

Delynne is so great! She is very knowledgeable and she is always willing to help you out. She can be strict, but she helps you grow and gets results. She is so sweet and I love how well she gets to know her students :)

Delynne is amazing! Her tests are difficult, but if you study and listen to helpful hints you'll do just fine. Delynne really knows her stuff and she goes out of her way to help you.

Comment:
I got along with Delynne, but I disagree with every teaching principle and way she deals with people. Expect to play her games to stay on her good side and make folk dance your life if you want her to like you or give you a good grade. She is unfair and favors students and is outright mean at times. I prefer any other dance teacher over her.

I think she's great! She's very funny and quite clear in teaching us the dances. I had a lot of fun and suggest her. She does grade tests a little tough, but if you are confident in what your doing and perform, you'll get an A.

Comment:
Delynne is talented, but she wastes her talent by how rude she is to students and other faculty members. She has an ego, will never admit she is wrong, and will personally attack students (to tears at times). She manipulates students through her power over teams to get students to do what she wants. I learned about dance, but hated the rest of it

Comment:
She was...ok, she recognizes that you are trying and offers you help from other students that are more experienced. There are times when you feel overwhelmed because she goes to fast or doesn't explain something in a more simpler way, if you want to take this class and your not an experienced dancer, be ready to get frustrated especially with her

Comment:
Delynne Peay is a tough teacher. I thought that this class would be easy and fun since it is only a half credit, but that's the farthest thing from the truth. She marked me off for things like being off balance when I was walking etc. She is a super hard teacher. Don't expect to get an A from her.

Comment:
Delynne is essentially the Simon Cowell of the World Dance Department. She is a professional who knows what she is talking about and expects her students to behave like adults (be on time, don't skip class, focus). And as far as her skill-based grading goes, would you expect to get an A in calculus simply for TRYING? It's college. And she's great.

Make sure you don't have anything else going on besides the team because she will make your life miserable and won't work with you. Plays favorites and makes you play her games or she will punish you. Bad experience all together

Comment:
Delynne Peay is the most political of all of the Folk instructors and plays clear favorites in her teams and classes. She is outright mean to some and known for kicking out students on teams for looks or being overweight-I was one of them. She is everything that BYU or a performing group should NOT be. Talented in her day, but she needs to go!

Comment:
She is mean, doesn't teach well, holds grudges, and offends regularly. She says mean things to students in front of others and talks bad about students and other instructors often. She is ruining the folk dance department. She often tells students to quit folk dance because she doesn't see any potential (even if teams aren't full). She is bad news

Comment:
Delynne is not a good teacher and even a worse team instructor(I've had both). If you are on her bad side, she will make your whole semester horrible. She plays mind games and gossips about students to other instructors and other students. She has no tact and has said horribly mean things to me and others (weight, looks, dance ability, etc)

Comment:
The classes is for beginners. You do not have to have any dancing skills what so ever to take this class. But according to Delynne that is what gets you an A in this class. She told me that effort was not enough to get a good grade in her class, that if you wanted a good grade you have to be good at dancing. I thought that was unfair.

DeLynne is a fabulous Teacher. She runs a great performance company, and she knows her stuff... seems like politics are not as involved in her casting as others in her department.
